Summer Reading 2019: May 28 - August 19 For Kids, Teens, and Adults

Our popular summer reading event has a new name and a new look! Get ready to sign up on May 28 - or, bring the family to our Summer Kickoff Party on Thursday, May 30, from 4 - 6 PM and sign up in person!

How it works: 1. Use your computer, tablet, or mobile device. 2. Create an account at balibrary.org/summer. 3. Sign up for 2019 Summer Reading. 4. Get busy: you'll earn points and real/digital badges by logging in your reading, reviewing, and other fun learning activities. 5. Win big: visit the Library to collect your badges and prizes.

All readers can earn: ➠ One free paperback book (reader's choice, while supplies last) ➠ One Summer Reading Pass, good for a free activity at a participating location in the Library district ➠ One Library lanyard

Grand Prize: Readers of all ages that complete the reading goal will be entered to win a one-year, six-person membership to the Morton Arboretum. Three passes in all, one winner in each category: Birth - Preschool, Kindergarten - Grade 8, Adult.

Read It Forward: Read for those in need. When our community of readers reaches a collective 500,000 points (equivalent to 25,000 books or 500,000 minutes read!), Barrington Bank and Trust will generously donate $1,000 to the Cuba Township and Barrington Township Food Pantries.
